Memphis producer Tay Keith has broken down how he made BlocBoy JB‘s breakout hit “Look Alive” featuring Drake on a new episode of Genius’ Deconstructed.
Released as the first single off BlocBoy’s mixtape Simi, “Look Alive” peaked at No. 5 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and has been certified double platinum. The track was the fourth most-downloaded song of February on DJcity.
Keith briefly recaps his history with BlocBoy then recalls how the collaboration with Drake came together. He goes on to break down how he produced “Look Alive” in FL Studio.
At only 21 years of age, Keith has worked with artists like Yo Gotti, Blac Youngsta, and Moneybagg Yo. He produced BlocBoy’s follow-up single “Rover 2.0” featuring 21 Savage as well as his viral hit “Shoot,” which sparked the popular “shoot dance” on social media. Keith recently co-produced Drake’s smash “Nonstop” from his record-breaking album, Scorpion.
